YOUTUBE video. Here Bronislaw is captured late Sept. 1939 by the Wehrmacht and on a PATHE film. He is on the cover and in the center with his MI6 partner to the LHS 'Teddy'. Then filmed at the 1:00 min mark. Truly remarkable.
This video was later "chopped up" and used for patriotic purposes for Poland. So, a mishmash.
'To Live Well is to Hide Well'
Non-Fiction - True Crime - True Life Story
ABOUT: The assassination of PM and Commander-in-Chief of the entire Polish Armed Forces during WW2.
The man who became the most elusive Intelligence Officer / Spy and Assassin of the 20th Century.
"Bronislaw Urbanski, a Polish native, emerged as a symbol of resilience and bravery during the tumultuous years of World War II. As the conflict swept through his homeland, Urbanski demonstrated unwavering courage and determination in the face of adversity. Serving as an underground resistance fighter, supplying critical intelligence Officer for Poland, Britain and USA. He covertly aided his compatriots by relaying vital information, facilitating escapes, and engaging in acts of sabotage against the occupying forces. Urbanski's selflessness and resourcefulness not only inspired those around him but also helped sustain the spirit of resistance that was crucial to the eventual liberation of Poland. His story stands as a testament to the indomitable human spirit and the power of individuals to make a significant impact in the darkest of times."
But he had a confession (and it has now been tested & verified!)
On the 4th of July 1943 Polish PM and General Wladyslaw Sikorski in the dark, was successfully assassinated by careful sabotage to his plane: Flight AL 523. Fact is it only flew for 16 seconds. Until now, no one knew the answer, all they posed were theories. We have the answer.
Now, 80-year-old secrets are finally revealed: This book is based upon a full confession in detail, documents, actual records, eyewitness accounts, WW2 footage, photographs, WW2 Historical and Aviation Expert verification, and years of research.
* NOTE: this groundbreaking book is a true event based on facts, confession and its subsequential evidence(s) and not as a theory!
This book To Live Well is to Hide Well, reveals the truth behind one of the most debated mysteries of World War II: the – assassination (death) of Polish Prime Minister and Commander-in-Chief General Władysław Sikorski. On July 4, 1943, Sikorski’s plane, Flight AL523, crashed just 16 seconds after take-off in Gibraltar, killing him and others on board. Officially dismissed as an accident, this book provides irrefutable evidence that it was a deliberate act of sabotage orchestrated by Bronisław Urbanski—a Polish intelligence officer, spy, and assassin. Master of disguise.
Bronisław, a key figure in Polish resistance and a covert operative for MI6 and later the OSS (now the CIA), confessed in 1984 to the sabotage of his plane and the resulting death of Sikorski months before Bronisław's own death. To Live Well is to Hide Well has his confession, backed by documents, eyewitness accounts, photographs, and expert analysis, reveals the precise and ingenious method he used to bring down the plane. This method, described in meticulous detail, has also been tested and verified by WWII air crash investigators, including Garth Barnard and Chris Wroblewski, whose 2023 book Sabotage! further confirms the findings. Furthermore, there are many Historians and Professors like Peter Zablocki (Polish History Professor) author of 'The death of Sikorski' 2024, also agrees with this author's book and many more. All except the 'Polish Government', who are embarrassed and ignoring all the expert Polish historians, WW2 Air Crash Investigators, experts etc. who are also classing this as an - assassination.
The assassination is contextualized within the turbulent political dynamics of the time. Sikorski’s strained relationship with Stalin, his leadership of the Polish government-in-exile, and the clandestine activities of the Polish resistance group known as the Musketeers who made him a target. A previously funded by Sikorski elite secretive Polish resistance group, then Sikorski turns on them and attacks them. The result is a payback. This book also delves into Churchill’s possible awareness of the plot and the geopolitical stakes that influenced these events. There is much evidence for this.
Beyond this pivotal historical event, To Live Well is to Hide Well paints an extraordinary portrait of Bronisław’s life. From his daring escapes during the war—like strangling Nazi captors to gain freedom—to his post-war espionage activities, Bronisław lived a life of constant reinvention. Fake names, false military ranks etc. His exploits even caught the attention of British writer Ian Fleming, who later drew inspiration from Bronisław while creating the James Bond character. Fleming’s personal connection to Sikorski’s assassination, tied to his wartime intelligence work and the closure of Operation Golden-Eye in Gibraltar, adds another layer of intrigue to this story.
This very special edition has been UPDATED on 15/11/2024 includes a new chapter presenting the newly discovered evidence which now solidly proves that Bronisław did serve as a member of Sikorski’s security detail. That now we can identify the man who coordinated the unique signal. These revelations, supported by historical experts and WWII crash investigators, bring clarity to an event long shrouded in mystery.
To Live Well is to Hide Well is more than a tale of espionage—it is a meticulously researched account of resilience, betrayal, and the hidden forces that shaped history. Bronisław’s incredible story, as recounted by his son Peter Urbanski, finally brings to light the full truth about Sikorski’s death and the secretive life of a man who influenced history while remaining in the shadows.
His father wanted the truth told long after his death.
"Furthermore, the claim that the British government or MI6 is withholding hidden documents is entirely baseless. In 2009, the UK government published its findings on this matter to dispel misconceptions, including those held by the Polish government, regarding the mysterious death of Sikorski and others.

WW2 Podcast - The Mysterious Death of Wladyslaw Sikorski Episode 247 taken 14/12/2024 by Angus Wallace
In this episode, we are uncovering one of the great enigmas of the war: the tragic death of General Władysław Sikorski.
Sikorski was a towering figure in the Polish government-in-exile, a man who held together the hopes of a nation during its darkest days. His sudden death in 1943, when his Liberator aircraft crashed into the sea near Gibraltar, shocked the world and raised a swirl of questions that linger to this day. Was it an accident? Sabotage? Or something more sinister?
To help unravel this mystery, I’m joined by Chris Wroblewski, author of Sabotage!: An In-Depth Investigation of the 1943 Liberator Crash that Killed Polish General Sikorski. Chris has worked alongside WWII Air Crash Detectives' Garth Barnard to shed new light on this controversial event. Together, they’ve pieced together a gripping tale of conspiracy, wartime politics, and investigative research.
Other Reviews:-
Fascinating and worth persevering with...
"....... as the author was working in a language (English) that is not their own. However, the story is very interesting and sheds new potential light on the (Sikorski) assassination. It includes a lot of particularly interesting photos to support the story. I learnt things about the Polish underground as well, that I had not fully appreciated."

Most Amazing...
" We were taught at school how the Enigma was handed over to the British, how Bertrand fed info back and how Dilly Knox met the team in Warsaw, how a machine was smuggled here (excuse my putting it in a nutshell). However, this book (and I paid for mine) is a fascinating, more detailed insight than you would teach a fifteen-year-old. Good read! "

The most stupendous TRUTHS, in history...
" Peter you are extraordinary, remember the beginning to where you are now, what an incredible journey and a difficult one, but you kept faith, honored your father's wishes and you have come out the other side, with one of the most stupendous TRUTHS, in history. Pat yourself on the back for me, I am just an observer, and I like what I see."

Everyone thought it was the Russians!...
" Everyone thought like I did until March 1984, that it was the Russians that killed Sikorski, sadly this is not the case at all. He (Bronislaw) did such a good job, that NOBODY could work it out as to what exactly happened. All that could be deduced was that somehow the elevator(s) were jammed -but how?","Now we tell you how and why!"
PETER URBANSKI - Author, son of Bronislaw - 27/09/2024
Congratulations!
"....... I know you’ve been steadfast in bringing your father’s story to light, and it sounds like your persistence has contributed to these conclusions by others........
May I say, Congratulations!"
